Aische

German

Etymology

Borrowed from Turkish Ayşe, from Arabic عَائِشَة (ʕāʔiša). The use as a common noun is due to the name's commonness among Turkish immigrants, possibly reinforced by the unrelated noun Ische (“gal, chick”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈaɪ̯ʃə/

Proper noun

Aische f (proper noun, genitive Aisches)

1. a female given name from Arabic

Usage notes

• The name is used chiefly by people of Turkish descent, sometimes in this spelling, more commonly probably in the original spelling Ayşe.
